�Sleep� The family's had their xmas break 4 days was all that I could take. I couldn't eat my own ice cream and all the littlies did was scream, but now they're gone as shadows creep and finally i'll get some sleep. �Liquor's quicker� Having diabetes is not good at xmas time. To tell you what you cant have, everybody stands in line. Sweets are out, they'll give you gout and if you want it quicker. Just you try imbibing on somebody else's liquor. "Pudding" They say no xmas pudding but I can plainly see When they say Roly- Poly they're referring just to me. "Wreck" I'm such a wreck I know that's plain Don't know if I can take the strain. with xmas gone now I believe It's time again for New Years Eve. "Forlorn morn" Resolutions for New year I wrote them down so they'll be clear. but now as I look down the line I hope for better luck this time. "Years end" Here's a toast before we go Another new year 's here you know. A new 12 month's is at the door. Let's hope it's better than before "Unhappy returns" Xmas feasts were my downfall my trousers now don't fit at all. I'd say they're small no one will buy it It looks like I will have to diet.

"Size counts" Some xmas gifts I'll sadly lack as I queue up to take them back. Don't take the risk it isn't wise. Next year tell everyone your size. �condemned� The way I'm feeling at this time I wouldn't recommend. If I were a building I would be condemned. "The Bells" Xmas time has come and gone but the malady lingers on. Too much egg nog really tells And I still hear "The bells, The bells." �"Clean up"� Pack up the tinsel, stash the tree. It's exercise for you and me. May the season never, but pass the Alka-seltzer friend. �"Happy new year"� A new year lies ahead once more. Lets hope it's better than before. That there will be an end to strife and we can live a peaceful life. So may each day bring harmony into the life of you and me. "2005" A new year comes to us once more. Let's hope it's better than '04 For I am absolutely sure that we have had enough of war. May all our troops return again so peace and happiness may reign, and we experience the good that comes from peace and brotherhood, and famine then just cease to be and become a memory and the good lord's healing grace overcome the human race.
